EKPHRASTIC 4.0

Over five weeks, artists will stop by SooVAC to draw on-site; as the drawings are completed, they will be displayed on the walls in an exquisite corpse-style narrative. During the final week of the exhibition, writers will visit the completed drawing and create short narrative responses, hence the title EKPHRASTIC. (Ekphrasis = Greek term for interpreting, describing, or amplifying an existing artwork in one medium by using another medium. For example, a drawing of a story or a story about a drawing.)​
